A song for Limbaugh's iPod
The message scrolls ticker-tape style across the bottom of Neil Young's Web site:
"I just finished a new record ...a power trio with trumpets and 100 voices ... recorded earlier this month ... I think it is a metal version of Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs ... metal folk protest? It's called LIVING WITH WAR ..."
Rumors have circulated for weeks about Young recording an entire protest album in three days, including a single titled "Impeach the President." Word is it'll be released within a month or two.
I'm not sure how much of the music will make it to mainstream radio. Whether Neil Young is singing about politics or romance, there aren't a whole lot of stations playing new music by the legendary rock artists any more. I might not know Jack, but I do know he's not exactly controversial with his playlist.
That said, Young -- author of one of the greatest protest anthems of all time in "Ohio" -- is sure to get a ton of publicity for the album. You know Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and what's her name, the skinny blond shrew who hates hates hates hates HATES liberals, will have a field day railing about the old, Canadian hippie singer who has the temerity to call for the impeachment of our fearless leader.
I'm not campaigning for a Bush impeachment, but I am 100 percent behind anything that strengthens the burgeoning protest movement and heightens awareness of the quagmire in Iraq and how we got there.
Go Neil.

Yawn - who is Neil Young???
Here's a song you should record Neil: "Keep on Rockin' In the Islamic World, but only If the Will Of Allah Permits It."
Last good song you did was "Downtown" you loser. You and your muttonchops, just take a freaking walk already.
Its called, jump start your career....protest the war and insult our president...you will make millions. Just ask Green Day, Michael Moore, Dixie Chicks....and that idiot racist Kanye West.
Pahahahahah! That's a riot!
Southern Man don't need him around any how.....
I don't know what's weirder - that I'm laughing at a Howard Stern joke or that I'm laughing at a Howard Stern joked posted by Borges, of all FReepers.
I must have missed Young's protest song when Saddam gassed the Kurds.
The alternative, Neil, is living with Sharia.
Doesn't one just love the celebs or alledged celebs. They are the last ones that should be writing about war; as they are no where even close to it. In other words, they have not a clue; but they will continue to live their selfish little lives which so far have not been effected one little bit by the war. I am sure enough of them don't even know a thing about Iraq. so they will continue their little meaningless and shallow lives trying to convenience the rest of us they mean or stand for something other than clueless or stupid.
Dana Carvey had a skit, this is every Neil Young song you've ever heard:
Dead dog lying in the ditch
Cigarette smoker, gets an itch
Run down whores with ancient vices
Target has the lowest prices
I'm getting higher
I'm getting higher
In the world.
"Let's Roll" I know I said I love you, I know you know it's true, I've got to put the phone down, and do what we got to do. One's standing in the aisleway, Two more at the door, We've got to get inside there, Before they kill somemore. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. No time for indecision, We've got to make a move, I hope that were foregiven, For what we got to How this all got started, I'll never understand, I hope someone can fly this thing, And get us back to land. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. No one has the answer, But one thing is true, You've got to turn on evil, When it's coming after you, You've gota face it down, And when it tries to hide, You've gota go in after it, And never be denied, Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. Let's roll for freedome, Let's roll for love, We're going after satan, On the wings of a dove, Let's roll for justice, Let's roll for truth, Let's not let our children, Grow up fearfull in there youth. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll. Time is runnin' out, Let's roll.
Yeah...but like other lib-tards...evil to him is the US and the POTUS.
Well I heard mister young sing about her
Well, I heard ole neil put her down
Well, I hope neil young will remember
A southern man don’t need him around anyhow
Neil Young? What? Time to break out the lava lamp and black-light posters from the attic.
keep on rockin' in the dumb world
my husband loves Neil Young... one of his song came on EM last night and I started singing... hi I am Neil Young, I do not like this president, and I used to smoke lots of pot, yes, my name is Neil Young and CNN and drive by media love me...........
he should run for office. he likes playing both sides of the fence depending on where the money is that week.
I think not.
Can you spell feckless, Roeper?
Yep. Neil's had brief flirtations with Nashville (he once made a Fonda-esque apology for being anti-soldier), and with counter-terrorism, but now he's back to his roots. Too bad, most of his best songs (e.g. "Heart of Gold", "Old Man" and "Down by the River") had little or nothing to do with politics.
a Lame ole' Rock "former" star who single handedly ruined CSN, wrote some really bad lyrics, never learned to play the guitar (the only one note guitar break in some really bad song named Cinnomin Girl), defected from Canada by taking the US Citizenship oath (and has been complaining ever since), took as many drugs as Ozzie, was a deadbeat Dad, never finished H.S, ........but found some "fame" from being the son of a famous news reporter.
Wonder when Rope will come out of the closet, you know he's in there.
"Bad lyrics"?? What you talking about? He's one of the premiere lyricists of the entire Rock Era!
Need I remind you of the pithy, soul searching lyrics of his classic. "Mashed Potatoes"? In case you've forgotten, here they are ---
[3 or 4 minutes of tuneless jamming, finally broken by ...]
"Got mashed potatoes"
[Few more seconds of jamming]
"Got mashed potatoes"
[Few more seconds of jamming]
"Got mashed potatoes"
[Yet more jamming]
"Ain't got no T-bone"
[Few more seconds of jamming]
"Ain't got no T-bone"
[Another 10 or 15 mind-numbing minutes of tuneless, mindless jamming with no vocals, finally mercifully broken by the phonograph needle reaching the end of the record]
In fact, I consider him right up there in the pantheon of other legendary rock lyricists such as the Beatles.
"We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine."
Or, "Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. Na na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude. ...."
Not only Youn's song, but have you heard the new song by Pink
"Dear Mr President"? Unreal. These people make me ill.
Forget about that lame Canuck. How about posting a song about a "mother" that abandoned her children. There's a rarity.
